    For anyone interested in this kind of evidence:

    Along the same line of genomic evidence and evolution, Glenn has
    referenced previously the following article.

    Plagiarized Errors and Molecular Genetics: Another argument in the
    evolution-creation controversy
    Edward E. Max
    Creation/Evolution XIX, p. 34, 1986.

    I was never able to find a local library that had the journal, but
    Max has now updated it and posted it on the Web at:
